Hello there,br>br>Unfortunately, they aren't. They're all the same size, so they can't be stacked on top of each other.
At its widest point, the rack measures about 12 inches across. 25 inches (including the top ring where the lifting handles are attached). I'm not sure how big your stock pot is, but if it's a little bigger than 12, that's fine. It would fit in a 25-inch space.
All of the items in the package box can be washed in the dishwasher.
China is the source of this product. The quality is excellent. Mine is fantastic!

The handles are not attached in such a way that they can be lowered into the water, ensuring that the canner lid remains firmly in place. My husband was able to reposition the handles by prying apart the loops on the handles. Reposition one rack for quarts and the other for pints if there are two. br>For a total of 7 quart jars - pry the right-hand handle's loop apart; Place the right side of the handle within the "pie slice" by moving the handle as far left as it will go. Bend the handle inward until the looped ends are 4" apart, then repeat with the other handle, ensuring that it is directly opposite the first. The loops must be closed. On the rack, the handles must be able to move freely. Handles should be able to close the canner lid properly over the quart jars. br>This recipe serves 8 pint jars. On one handle, pry apart only one loop; Position the handle so that one side of it is outside of the bar and the other side is on the opposite side of the same bar. Bend the handle three times so that the looped ends are three times the length of the handle. Pry apart both loops on the other handle by 1/4"; Place the handle between the two bars of the "pie slice" so that both loops are visible. Bend the handle inward so that the looped ends are 2-inches long. Before closing the loops on the rack, double-check that the handles can be placed opposite each other. Over two jars, one handle can be slid down; The other handle will be able to clear the canner lid if it is pushed down far enough. br>I really like this rack now that I've made these changes. There is no more rust, and this rack secures the jars in place better than the original rack.
I used to think that quarts/liters were the way to go when I first started canning a few years ago. And they still are at times. However, with just the two of us, a quart of tomato sauce means that half of it spoils before we can finish it. As a result, I've gone from gallons to pints. Two of the three canning racks I had, on the other hand, were poorly designed. Pints and smaller jars were not adequately supported. Because one or more jars would always turn over on their side, these racks were ordered to match my third canning rack, which had always done an excellent job. These are low-cost and even flimsy, according to some. They are, however, sufficient for my requirements. They can also easily lift 7 full quarts, so they're suitable. They also don't rust, which I appreciate.
Although the product is well-made and reasonably priced, it does not fit the stockpot for which it was purchased. For the 12" rack, I measured my pot at 11 12" and it's too big: (I'll keep it and see what I can come up with for a pot. ) But it's of high quality!.
These racks were purchased to replace the one that came with my water bath canner. These are a lot more durable and heavier gauge metal than the original rack, and they're a great deal for the 2-pack. pack. If the occasion arose, I would definitely buy these again. One more advantage. They arrived a day ahead of schedule.
It was aluminum, and every time I tried to use it, it rusted. To use it, I'd have to steel wool it. I'm so glad I found this, because now I'm ready to can whenever I want. My old one had dividers on it to keep the jars from falling over, which would have been a nice feature, but I'm happy with stainless steel.
The canning pot's racks made removing the jars after processing so simple and safe. We'd have to take each jar out one at a time before receiving them, risking dropping it into scalding water or burning ourselves. The rack is lightweight, stable, and convenient to use. It also saves time to have the second one ready to go into the processor. I would strongly advise anyone who can produce to use this product.
Except for the jars, lids, rings, and pot, this is a nice starter kit that includes everything you'll need to get started. In most cases, a 21 is used. High-acid foods, such as fruits, require a 5 quart canning pot. The first issue arises in this situation. A standard canning pot will not fit on the lifting/lowering rack. The second issue is that the hinges on the jar lifter tongs are so tight that they require two hands to open, and it's difficult to gauge how much pressure is required when grabbing a jar. A Ball jar lifter is something I would recommend. The most effective product available.
With a capacity of 7 quarts, it's simple to put into the pot and remove.
